This study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis on prospective studies to assess the relationship between bundle branch block (BBB) or wide QRS and the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). The findings indicate a significant increase in the risk of all-cause mortality among patients with wide QRS, regardless of the type of BBB (left or right).
Aims The aim of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis of prospective studies assessing the relationship between bundle branch block (BBB) or wide QRS and risk of all-cause mortality in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). Methods and results We searched the PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science database from inception to February 2022 to identify single centre or multicentre studies including a minimum of 400 patients and assessing the association between BBB or wide QRS and mortality in patients with AHF. Study-specific hazard ratio (HR) estimates were combined using a random-effects meta-analysis. Two meta-analyses were performed: (1) grouping by conduction disturbance and follow-up length and, (2) using the results from the longest follow-up for each study and grouping by the type of BBB. The meta-analysis included 21 publications with a total of 116,928 patients. Wide QRS (considering right (RBBB) and left (LBBB) altogether) was associated with a significant increment in the risk of all-cause mortality (pooled adjusted HR 1.112, 95% CI 1.065-1.160). The increased risk of death was also present when LBBB (HR 1.121, 95% CI 1.042-1.207) and RBBB (HR 1.187, 95% CI 1.045-1.348) were considered individually. There was no difference in risk between LBBB and RBBB (P for interaction = 0.533). Other outcomes including sudden death, rehospitalization and a combination of cardiovascular death or rehospitalization were also increased in patients with BBB or wide QRS. Conclusions This meta-analysis suggests a modest increase in the risk of all-cause mortality among patients with AHF and BBB or wide QRS, irrespective of the type of BBB.
